<p>We congratulate all parties on today’s important electoral reform political agreement. We welcome the inclusive process and commend the political willingness to reach consensus. This is an important achievement that will benefit the citizens of Albania.</p>
<p>The new Electoral Code provisions, once adopted by the Parliament, will give Albania an electoral process with higher integrity and transparency standards, based on OSCE/ODIHR recommendations, including the gradual depoliticisation of the electoral administration.</p>Europe and Central Asia, Western Balkans, Albania, EEAS, Council of Europe, Human Rights & Democracyhttps://eeas.europa.eu/delegations/council-europe/80491/albania-joint-statement-high-representative-vice-president-josep-borrell-and-neighbourhood-and_en05/06/2020 - 21:27EEAS RSS FeedsEEAS Press TeamenUnveiling the Council of Europe’s new six-month priorities: protecting public health in full respect of human rights and investing in future generationshttps://eeas.europa.eu/delegations/council-europe/80417/unveiling-council-europe%E2%80%99s-new-six-month-priorities-protecting-public-health-full-respect_en
<p>As the Greek government has recently taken over the chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, a new set of priorities has been advanced for May-November 2020. The ambition is to set out an effective crisis response in full compliance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe, human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Other topics such as the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights or enhanced children protection, youth empowerment and the protection of vulnerable groups’ rights are also featured on the agenda of the new presidency.</p>

<p>“If I tried to explain in one word the relations between the EU and the Council of Europe, I would use the word ‘care’. The EU cares about multilateralism and strong regionalism. We care about our continent and we have a dream to make this continent a strong field of human rights, rule of law and democracy” said Ambassador Meglena Kuneva earlier this year during an interview for the Council of Europe communication services, right after a meeting with future Georgian law professionals in the framework of the Partnership for Good Governance (PGG II) joint programme.</p>
